Notice
------

[](#notice)

This packages uses the `mtownsend/array-redactor` package by [mtownsend5512](https://github.com/mtownsend5512) and the `Faker` library by [fzaninotto](https://github.com/fzaninotto). So for more details to those packages look at the repositories readme files:

- [mtownsend/array-redactor](https://github.com/mtownsend5512/array-redactor)
- [fzaninotto/faker](https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker)

Why
---

[](#why)

Sometimes you need to customized your data to protect the privacy of your users or the security of your application. This is no longer a problem with this package.

With this package, an element of an array or a JSON, no matter how deep, can be easily deleted, redact or faked. This allows you to customize the response of your server or api and pass it on without worry.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer:

```
composer require tobymaxham/array-faker-redactor

```

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Using the class

[](#using-the-class)

```
use TobyMaxham\ArrayFakerRedactor\ArrayFakerRedactor;

// An example array, maybe a request being made to/from an API application
$content = [
    'email'       => 'git2019@maxham.de',
    'phone'       => '1234567',
    'password'    => 'secret123',
    'notes'       => 'this can be removed',
    'sample_data' => 'nothing else matters',
];

$redactor = (new ArrayFakerRedactor())->content($content)->keys(['email', 'password', 'notes', 'sample_data' => 'random'])->withFaker()->redact();

// $redactor will return something like:
[
    'email'       => 'russel94@hotmail.com',
    'phone'       => '1234567',
    'password'    => ']61i8~}DJB',
    'notes'       => '[REDACTED]',
    'sample_data' => 'e2k9aDUoeXRFQzhP',
];
```

### Advanced usage

$content = [
    'key' => 'some data',
];

$redactor = (new ArrayFakerRedactor())->content($content)->keys(['key' => 'myformatter'])
    ->withFaker()
    ->addFakerProvider(MyProvider::class)
    ->redact();
```
